    Thoughtful life story!

    I couldn't put the book down! It was such a mixture of laughter and tears and happiness and sadness. I wish Frankie James would come out with the second novel soon!!!

    growing up gay, poor and proud of it

    This book took me on a journey of a family that all of us can relate too. Mr. Ellis writes like a male version of Fannie Flagg with his take on one family that words can not describe. I would recommend this book to anyone

    This is a story about family

    This is the story of a boy's coming of age within a dysfunctional family. If you have ever lost a loved one, been hurt by love, felt the joy of love, argued with loved ones at a funeral, hated your job but loved the people you work with, or just loved the woods then this story is for you.

    Granny Boop's Big House: Growing up Gay White Trash and Liking It

    I felt like I was looking through Bobby Lee's windows even though I shouldn't have been. But he leave the blinds wide open as he says in the book. GOOD STUFF - Like today's reality TV.

    Truly fascinating stuff!

    I fell in love with this nuclear family, this motley crew of siblings and Mom. They put me in mind of a modern day Oliver Twist with the bowl of gruel now a cheeseburger and fries. I so wanted Bobby Lee to make it his way, in his own time. A very satisfying read.Can't wait for a sequel.

    Granny Boop's Big House: Growing up Gay White Trash and Liking It

    I Loved reading about Bobby Lee and his wild family and couldn't wait to find out what happen to all 7 kids. It is amazing they all survived. Clearly this a family that was lead by a drunk who loved them endlessly. Gay White Trash, what a different point of view! Who would think it even exist today. Frankie James has got something to say, no doubt. This is pretty good for a first novel. He has a cool website which is listed on his cover. I recommend the book. There are no great revelations here, but it was just plain good reading, FUN for no reason.
